Understanding The Eucharist as a Sacrament of Healing
Wednesday Mar 22, 2023
Wednesday Mar 22, 2023
Did you know that one of the beliefs of Catholics is that Jesus is truly present in the Eucharist? His body, His blood, His soul, and His Divine Nature…all present in the Eucharist! Have you ever considered the Eucharist to be a healing balm to your emotional health?
This is an invitation or rather an encouragement for us to receive Jesus in the Eucharist as often as we can. God is not looking for us to be perfect when we come to Him. He’ll meet us where we are. Let’s talk about our emotional health, how to find peace and strength, and understand that our faith is a journey and God loves us exactly where we are!

Saved by the Bell
Wednesday Dec 14, 2022
Wednesday Dec 14, 2022
We all need reminders to connect our day to God. The Angelus can be that daily reminder to call to mind God’s love for us! This famous Catholic devotion recounts the message from the angel Gabriel to Mary announcing God’s plan for her life. The theme throughout this prayer’s history and usage is the number three. There are three antiphons, and three Hail Marys, and the prayer has been traditionally said three times a day (morning-6 a.m., noon, evening-6 p.m.) Most Church historians agree that the Angelus can be traced back to 11th-century Italy, where monks said three Hail Marys during night prayers, at the last bell of the day.
It is so easy to get caught up in our daily duties and obligations to the point where we forget about God altogether. We can almost always make excuses for why we are doing something particularly important at that moment. So pause, listen for those bells (or set your cell phone alarm), and learn how you can grow closer to God in our latest conversation.

Blaze Your Trail with Special Guest Father Thomas Haan
Wednesday Nov 16, 2022
Wednesday Nov 16, 2022
Please join us in our latest conversation where we welcome back Fr. Thomas Haan! Fr. Haan will introduce us to his favorite Saint, Josemaría Escrivá, and the profound impact he has had on his life.
Josemaría Escrivá, a Spanish priest who founded Opus Dei and developed a spirituality through which people can form personal friendships with God through their everyday lives in the midst of the world. We are all called to this holiness, and he says this in such a simple way. Anything that we are doing we can offer to God and he offers this call to holiness as an invitation. “Don’t let your life be sterile. Be useful. Blaze a trail. Shine forth with the light of your faith and of your love.” (The Way, 1)
Sit back and enjoy this meditation on his life, and learn how his spirituality applies to all of us!

A UNIQUE APPROACH TIED TO THE TREASURES OF OUR FAITH
HOW ARE WE DIFFERENT?
Every part of what we do draws upon the B.E.S.T.®. Our programs, podcast, AYF Circle, and other content are all organized around this original approach. Designed with active lives in mind, the B.E.S.T. helps us better understand and go deeper into the treasures of our Catholic Faith and awakens the joy in being a Jesus Girl.
BLESSED MOTHER {B} – As the best example of living virtue in daily life, we imitate the life of the Blessed Mother as daughters and friends, wives and mothers.
EUCHARIST AND SACRAMENTS {E} – We discover the gift of the Sacraments and learn to rely on the grace and strength they provide.
SCRIPTURE AND SAINTS {S} – Saints were people like us, who cooperated with the Word of God and abundant grace to transform their lives. We explore the saints and the scriptures for direction and encouragement.
TRADITION OF THE CATHOLIC CHURCH {T} – Preserved and passed down through generations, the Tradition of the Catholic Church forms our foundation and lights our path.
KNOW YOUR FAITH + LOVE YOUR FAITH + LIVE YOUR FAITH
AWAKEN THE JESUS GIRL IN YOU.
Awaken Your Faith invites you into meaningful conversations and true connection. Faith is strengthened when it’s shared, and we need your story to complete the circle.
